Likely, since it is a popular camera and apart from OE (Operator Error) no problems are known.

Errors do occur if the camera settings and the sequence settings do not match and with failing hardware (FW port, cable).

A bit difficult to judge where you make an error due to lacking details though. Remember we can't look over your shoulder to see where you make a mistake, we can only read what you tell us and that is not much.

It is a bit like calling a car dealer and saying: My car doesn't start. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanx to everyone for your remarks. I changed the settings in the HV20 to only output SD video, and viola....CS4 recognized the camera.

There is hope.......

Now I need to convince my wife to buy me the upgrade for the production suite.

Merry Christmas....all.

Check out my site.....MySkiMovies.com....have been using the HV20 for two years with good results....have dropped it several times while skiing....dropped it off the lift once.....it has been covered in snow while skiing and shooting many times.....and it just keeps ticking.

Used it for a short time with a Kenyon Gyro.......to cut down on the vibration and editing time.....problem with a high whine affecting audio....and the results where too smooth.....people did not like it as much as the gyro free shots.
